Abstract: An ablation method and device contacts one surface of a target layer and positions the tissue to ablate entirely through the layer. The tissue may be a wall of the heart (ablated, for example, to form blocking lesions for atrial fibrillation), and ablation may be performed with the heart stopped or beating, and effected by either endocardial or epicardial contact. Access may be through an open incision or a minimally invasive technique involving a small opening through which one or more elongated surgical tools are inserted. Illustratively, an atrial ablation treatment can be performed prophylactically (after CABG), or independently to treat an existing condition. A tool of the present invention has a handle at a proximal end, a bipolar ablation head, and an elongated body interconnecting the handle and the ablation head. A channel or contoured surface fixes and bends the tissue such that inter-electrode conduction paths span the thickness of the layer, thus dependably creating a fully transmural ablation lesion. The oriented transmural energy conduction paths reduce the possibility of inducing coagulation of blood in the heart chamber. One bipolar assembly has an electrode spacing of approximately ten millimeters across a channel of about five millimeters depth. Preferably the ablation head forms a suction holder, connected through internal passages to a vacuum pressure of about 100-500 mmHg, and immobilizes the contacted tissue.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for the consistent representation of concrete and virtual objects, according to which an observer is provided with consistent superposed and illuminated effects, even for varying observation standpoints. The concrete object is illuminated using a light projector (5), which generates a dynamic shadow and/or shading on the concrete object (4), as soon as images of the virtual object (3) are reproduced on said concrete object. The invention is characterised in that a projection of the virtual object (3) is superposed on the shadow and the latter is thus invisible to the observer and that the occlusion shadows for all other observers are transferred to a template buffer, the surroundings of the occlusion shadow being cut out of the final image. The reproduction of the concrete surface is then read into an image buffer and is shaded by the virtual illuminated scene and finally after the template function has been switched off, the images of the virtual object are added to be viewed by the observer.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une machine poste-vecteur qui comporte un processeur hôte et un accélérateur pipeline câblé. Le processeur hôte exécute un programme et, en réponse au programme, génère des données hôte, à partir desquelles l'accélérateur pipeline génère des données pipeline. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'accélérateur pipeline génère les données pipeline, à partir desquelles le processeur hôte génère les données hôte. Etant donné qu'elle comporte à la fois un processeur et un accélérateur pipeline, la machine poste-vecteur peut souvent traiter plus efficacement des données qu'une machine qui ne comporte que des processeurs ou que des accélérateurs. Par exemple, on peut concevoir la machine poste-vecteur de façon que le processeur hôte exécute des opérations décisionnelles et des opérations intensives non mathématiques, et que l'accélérateur exécute des opérations non décisionnelles et des opérations mathématiquement intensives. En déplaçant les opérations mathématiquement intensives vers l'accélérateur, la machine poste-vecteur peut souvent, pour une fréquence d'horloge donnée, traiter des données à une vitesse supérieure à celle à laquelle une machine à processeur seulement peut traiter les données.
